load / force distribution
Explanation:
The load distribution of floors and roofs . . .

I know exactly what is being referred to here, but am not certain of the precise terminology. I do not think it refers to the plates (schijven) themselves, but to the distribution of weight which is their function.

neutral  asptech: "schijfwerking" = distribution of horizontal loads (wind), "plaatwerking" = distribution of vertical loads (weights)

neutral  Michael Beijer: agree with asptech. see e.g. https://docplayer.nl/54418162-Interactief-drukvlak.html // plus, the joostdevree ref. (http://www.joostdevree.nl/shtmls/schijfwerking.shtml ) only mentions horizontal forces
